Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1 cup Plain flour
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Cream cheese
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper, and stir well using an electric whisk.
  • Take a baking tray and cover with a non-stick baking sheet.
  • Next make small 1-inch sized balls out of your mixture, use a melon baller if you have one, but otherwise it is fine to use your hands.
  • Place each of the balls on to the baking tray making sure none of them are touching. Place in the freezer for around 5 hours or until they are hard.
  • After 5 hours, make your batter. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Slowly add in your milk and water and beat until the batter mix is smooth.
  • Prepare a deep fat fryer of hot oil or a large pot if oil if you don’t have a fryer.
  • Place a toothpick into the middle of each of the frozen butter balls and, one-by-one, dip them into the batter mix, coating fully.
  • Now carefully place the butter balls into the hot oil and cook through. As they start to go brown, turn them occasionally to ensure they are cooking through.
  • Carefully take them out of the hot oil and serve as a snack.
